Maintenance

The DRUXTO Hot Water Dispenser requires some regular maintenance to keep it running optimally. Here are a few key maintenance tasks:

Cleaning

It's important to keep your hot water dispenser clean, especially the spout where water comes out. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust and mineral buildup. For stubborn mineral deposits, use a descaling solution.

Clean the drip tray regularly to prevent mold and mildew growth. Remove the tray and wash with warm soapy water.

Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside the heating tank and tubes. This affects performance and can lead to damage. Descale the dispenser every 3-6 months depending on your water hardness.

Use a descaling solution specifically formulated for hot water appliances. Turn off the dispenser, fill the tank with descaling solution, let it soak for 30 minutes, then run the solution through the system. Flush thoroughly with clean water afterwards.

Filter Changes

If your dispenser has a water filter, this will need replacing every 6-12 months. Check the manufacturer's guidelines. Replacing the filter regularly helps reduce mineral buildup and improves water taste.
